Waved goodbye to beautiful Kununurra and set off towards Halls Creek, about 300 km's away. Had a quite eventful drive, through a burn off which was very close to the road and somewhat out of control, with smoldering trees right at the roadside. Got through that, then discovered that there were stray cattle everywhere for the next 100 km's or so. They just wandered out onto the road as they pleased and you have no choice but to slow right down and let them go (unl...

Hooray, we made it to WA! Had a beautiful drive from Katherine, through to Victoria River Station (where I had the hugest choc-chip bikkie ever!). Made it to the WA border and had to line up at border security for ages as the Moscow Circus was ahead of us. Our border security officer was hungover and totally over all things circus and threatened to fine us if we mentioned anything about the circus! He was a bit of a character and turns out that he used to play gi...

We enjoyed the pub's world famous Beef and Barra feast, it was incredibly yummy and got the seal of approval from the teenage food disposal machine! The entertainment provided by their residen...

What a fantastic place Alice Springs is! We arrived with the intention of staying 3 nights and ended up extending our stay by a further 2 nights. Friday was spent restocking our food supplies, it was so nice to get good fresh fruit and veg (the simple things you miss when in a remote area). Spent some time familiarizing ourselves with the layout of the Big 4 Macdonnell Ranges Caravan Park, which we found to be an outstanding park and quite reasonably priced. Als...
